Have a good birthday, Bonnie, and tell @CarlSeibert to come play with us sometimes! Cheers

It turned into a nail biter. I didn't get called up until the first round of peremptory challenges was done. They questioned us and selected the 12 jurors with the plaintiff passing the jury repeatedly. I was left as the first alternate, which would be the worst of all words because I have to sit through a two to three week trial and don't get to decide it unless somebody drops off. Plaintiff passed again with me as alternate, and defendant dinged the neurologist next to me because it is a traffic accident case with an alleged traumatic brain injury. The fucking plaintiff passed again but the defense finally dinged me. Thank goodness. This isn't the trial I would want for my first jury service and being an alternate would suck!

Wow, missed your big day here and FB! Apparently you had a great day, so that's nice. Belated birthday greetings my friend! Cheers!

Not mentioned. Just a racially diverse collection of American citizens talking about the wonderful jury experiences they had, the lifelong friends they made on the jury, and a judge explaining the majesty of the jury trial right.

I'm sitting in the jury assembly room watching a video to teach me about the US justice system and jury trials. Interesting stuff.

RIP Katherine and Luke. Fuck massive strokes at 52!

Happy birthday Craig! Cheers

I have heard of books on tape or CD but never on vinyl. That sounds quite cumbersome...?

Last night, in reality, but Steve made his famous Tice's Bacon Mac-n-Cheese for dinner. Other than its deliciousness, the song says it all... E9888757-4791-4D1F-9EAE-AB0C8C4E1483.MOV

Have a blast on your big day, Naaman! Cheers!

Fun part looks very fun

Switched from listening to Devo to Talk Talk. I played the shit out of their first two albums when they came out, and much later listened to Colour of Spring as an audiophile classic. RIP Mr Hollis

Nice shots Ric.

It's mostly in name only as a favor to a former partner whose new firm could use more names. I won't leave you and our co-leisure.

Oh, of course. And I also might be affiliated (loosely) with a firm by then...

I had the same thought Kerry! ?

I have to appear in two weeks. As a litigator, I never get selected but we shall see how it goes when I am not gainfully employed...

I'm thinking that the Brooklyn Bridge, a hard drive and my ATC speakers would make a hell of a system. I also think it is kind of amazing that they include a phono stage if you want to mix in some old school.

Happy roasting! Cheers!

RIP Peter Tork, the goofy Monkee. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/obituaries/peter-tork-dead.html?login=email&auth=login-email Fuck cancer. ?

Do you have them in stock?

I've been going through some of my concert ticket stubs because Claire has a spreadsheet of many shows we/she/I have seen and I want to expand it. One of the earliest ones that I still have made me feel good inside and stirred some memories of several very cool concerts at UC Davis while I was an undergrad there. For example, I saw the Talking Heads on campus on December 5, 1983. Think Big Suit, suburban home set, Speaking In Tongues tour, all just one week before Jonathan Demme filmed the same show in Los Angeles. I also saw the infamous Replacements show, such as it was, in the tiny UC Davis Coffee House. They were so drunk they could barely perform a song, and soon after they started they literally fled the stage, ran out of the venue, and never returned. Apparently, somebody told them that the cops were after them and were about to raid the show. Not accurate but fucked over us fans even more than their shitty performance. I also saw both of those bands subsequently (with another Replacements screw up of our own doing) but the ticket stub is for the one and only time I saw the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn, with Double Trouble. It was an epic show in Freeborn Hall on campus (now also gone), and it was everything any SRV fan could imagine. I found the awesome set list online and the bootleg of the whole show that I will be listening to later. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now Honey Bee Mary Had a Little Lamb Love Struck Baby Tin Pan Alley Cold Shot Couldn't Stand the Weather Texas Flood Lenny Stang's Swang Rude Mood All of that for $10.50! Hard to imagine these days. Claire actually puts the price of the tickets on her spreadsheet, which is fascinating. Anyway, I love thinking back on this stuff, and I'm glad I kept some momentos to remind me.

Have a great birthday in your new age of freedom, Al! Cheers!
